Review of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011) by Jens S — 09 Aug 2016

Some parts are a bit too pretentious, but especially the scenes immediately connected to the 9/11 attacks are very haunting. In the end it's about healing and accepting the cruelty and beauty of life and that message works and is portrayed really well.

And the acting is top notch, if you can get over how incredibly pretentious that kid is most of the time.
